The Neuroscience of Learning - Bruce McCandliss

Bruce McCandliss, professor in Stanford’s Graduate School of Education and the director of the Stanford Center for Mind, Brain and Computation, speaks about brain-imaging technology that is revolutionizing the study of educational experiences and their effect on the brain.

Great research!

Brain activity reflecting different modes of attention is shown here, but there's no mention of how it compares with the children's pre-existing learning states, to what extent a new activity pattern is enduring, or whether enhanced activity does, in fact, better facilitate learning potential. From the literacy improvements in the NY school systems we might surmise improved learning, but from this brief presentation, we aren't shown any functional cognitive improvements. Neither is there mention of confounding factors having been ruled out, such as teachers' increased interest and engagement with their students (in response to an exciting research opportunity) or other academic changes in those settings at that time that were unrelated to the research. Maybe those issues had been addressed and just aren't presented here, or maybe they've been pursued since this was posted in 2015.

The Vedas were not written down for a very long time yet are very sophisticated. Learned. IN addition, those first symbols that you showed, use a different faculties than an alphabet and how it is assembled. I'm ADHD, Dyslexic and Autistic. I'm not certain that trading off all of those faculties that the restructuring of the brain should be forsaken. They are very valuable. They were not a barrier for learning in times prior to the alphabet. The Vedic Brahmens, the Irish Bardic Schools...I think there are many more things to consider. Auditory and visual learning is still learning and can be just as sophisticated as any other.

Good work for humanity

COOL WORKS BRUCE.

Very cool

[@BioxyTube]

an animal footprint in the forest is a symbol, a branch that is broken and has fur on it is another one. Each has meaning that early humans gave to it in order to survive. Reading symbols is not a rewired neurological ability that came with reading on a tablet, or a cave wall...writing is condensing information on a support as it expands..

Interesting comment and it made me reflect on what you wrote thank you very much!!

[@montserratflores3921]

Nice :)

[@RC-md2yx]

This is my recommendation

[@mmkantorinnc]

Took way too long to get to the findings and their implications for practice and further research.

[@alijalal9919]

So what u say is when a student concentrates , he learns !! Wow

Everyone knows that attention is key to learning. What Bruce focused on is how changing the guiding on attention impacts how learning occurs in the brain. Despite some people learn about this from research, there is too many people that think that when you learn a word, that "word" is stored in some specific "cabinet" in almost the same area in the brain in everyone's head. Bruce's example shows that depending on how you teach that word, learners will show different areas responding to that word. Putting in other way, some people think that they are "innately" left-brain or right-brain thinkers (the lateralization myth), but Bruce's research shows that is just how they learn to process information.

@@JuanWayri any information that shows relevance to previously consolidated information in neural network reconsolidates them and gets encoded within their network in an easier and more accessible way than being consolidated on its own separately and on its own I’m a medical graduate and that’s known since 2013 What is daunting is just that so many resourceful people spend so much time refining old information that has no tangible explanation rather than searching for what memory really is biologically to finally discover the missing letters in our neural alphabet

Strange....... why youtube recommend me this now in 2020

[@matthewarana486]

further scientific proof of meditation :) maybe the buddhists are right ??
